美國文化脫口秀 第106期:演講的技巧!

在外企工作很多時候都要用英語做presentation(專題演講)，而很多時候presentation的質量不僅關乎到業(yè)務的成功與否，在很多老板眼里也是個人能力的一種體現(xiàn)。今天我們要來看看用英文做presentation要注意哪些細節(jié)，很多時候不僅僅是語言上的代溝哦!

聽力提示：

1. presentation 專題演講

2. powerpoint 演示文稿(軟件)

5. general presentation tips 一般的專題演講技巧

6. powerpoint deck/presentation 演示文稿

7. layout 排版

8. text-heavy 寫滿了字的

9. So you have to know what you want to say. You can't put everything in text on the slide. That is a bad presentation technique.

所以你必須清楚自己要說什么。你不能把所有要說的都寫在幻燈片上。這樣的專題演講技巧很爛。

10. Maybe there're some words on the slides, but the important points you have to say without the slides.

可能幻燈片上會有一些字，但是重要的一點是你要能不看幻燈片表述。

11. visual aids 視覺幫助

12. Sometimes it's pictures, sometimes it's graphs, or charts.

所以有時候用一些圖片，有時候用圖形或圖表。

13. Presentation Zen 《演說之禪》

Presentation Zen

14. engaging 能與觀眾互動的

15. Open with a joke. 用一個笑話開場。

16. body language 肢體語言

17. eye contact 眼神交流

18. And sometimes you can have the people in the audience help give you examples that you can use to prove your point.

有時候你可以讓觀眾幫忙舉例來證明的你的觀點。

19. Yeah, for example, if you're giving a presentation on service, you can ask them about some of their good and bad experiences of service. And you can use that to prove your point.

是啊，比如，你在做一個有關服務行業(yè)的專題演講，你就可以問問他們有沒有一些好的或壞的經(jīng)歷。你就可以用這些來證明你的觀點。

20. you make the audience feel like they're a part of the presentation 你讓觀眾感覺他們是演講的一部分

21. Yeah if you're just reading, everyone will fall asleep or start looking at their cell phones.

如果你一味讀稿子的話，別人就要睡著了或是開始玩手機。

22. two-way exchange 雙向交流

23. The presenter will look at you and they expect you to be looking at them.

做演講的人會看著你，他們也希望你能看著他們。

24. Don't always stand at the same spot. You can move around.

不要站在一個地方不動，你可以到處走走。

25. Don't make people fall asleep. 不要讓聽的人睡著了。

26. I think one problem that a lot of people have is it only works on one computer. And they have to use a different computer...

然后就完蛋了(then they're screwed)。

我覺得很多人都有的一個問題是(這個演示文稿)只在一臺電腦上可以用。然后他們換了臺電腦...

27. You can put your presentation on a USB drive. And you don't use like crazy fonts. You know, you use pretty standard (fonts).

你可以把你的演示文稿放在一個U盤里面。然后不要用那些花里胡哨的字體，用盡量標準的(字體)。

28. Then usually it could work on any computer. 一般來說任何電腦上都能用。

29. So if you want to use your own computer, you better bring an adapter. Maybe more than one adapter.

如果你想用自己的電腦，最好帶一個轉換器。最好帶不止一個。

35. You have to watch the time. 你要注意時間。

36. print out a physical copy for everyone, or for yourself. 給大家打印一份紙質的。

37. Don't print it if it's not a very important presentation. Lots of foreigners don't like to see people wasting paper.

不是很重要的專題演講就不要打印出來了。很多老外不喜歡看到別人浪費紙。
